My 7 year old son in the 1st grade was having trouble comprehending and the school tested him—everything was within normal range. This year he is continuing to have the same problems, just worse. He actually got an f on his 1st nine weeks report card. His teacher states their is definitely a problem and that she strongly thought it was dyslexia. I took him to a dyslexia institute, and paid for the report, and they stated he did have it. I turned in the report 6 weeks ago, and still have not heard anything. The teacher did state that they are going to be testing his eyes and hearing. I brought up the results from the beginning of school that I had done privately. I just took him to a speech therapist and had the CELF done and it came out in the normal range with scores ranging from 88-92. They did a lindamood Bell test which got a score of 32 which is the Kindergarten range. They also did a CAPP test which also showed similar results as above. When I took him to the dyslexia institute, the same deficits were noted with their tests as the lindamood bell. Now, with a score oof twoo tests, 1 by a DR and one by a speech therapist—both showing kindergarten range (a delay by two grade levels) in digit recall, short and long term memory, and auditory processing. What is actually a 15 spread mean?????? Thanks
yeah but it's still within the average ange.
correct me if I am wrong but isn’t 85 to 115 the “average” bell curve and even with a 15 point difference he is still in the normal range.
I thought to qualify for services one needs to have some scores that fall below the 7th %.

What this means is that you need a 15 point difference between IQ and acheivement to qualify for services. You take the IQ and look and the Standard Scores for acheivements and see if any are greater then 15 points. For example, IQ of 100 you would need standard scores of 85 or below to qualify. Different states have a different point difference. A 15 point difference is much less than most states.
If you post the IQ: Full Scare and and the major other scores and the Standard Scores of the acheivement tests we can give you some advice.
